Shape Analysis of Curves in Higher Dimensions
In this dissertation we will discuss geodesics between open curves and also between closed curves in Rn where n ≥ 2. In order to calculate these geodesics, we will form a Riemannian metric on a space of smooth curves with non-vanishing derivative. The metric will be invariant with respect to scaling...
